When Bryan Young, once the sole owner and operator of Brys Landscaping in Lakewood, filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008, he claimed to have little more to his name than a large pickup truck, approximately $3,700 in home furniture and about $100 in his pocket.

In reality, though, Young, formerly of Toms River and most recently of Venice, Fla., had nearly $175,000 in two accounts, more than four times as much in home furniture, and a second pickup truck, federal authorities allege.
